A WWE Smackdown wrestler narrowly avoids a neck injury following a dangerous fall, as captured in a video
During yesterday’s live broadcast of WWE, a match had to be abruptly halted after a harrowing incident between Austin Theory and Carmelo Hayes. Fans expressed concern for both wrestlers following a terrifying fall from the top rope during the SmackDown show. The match was instantly stopped by the referee, and medical staff rushed into the ring.
The alarming moment unfolded as Theory attempted a modified Spanish Fly off the top rope onto Hayes. However, upon landing, they collided heads, leading to both wrestlers crashing down onto the mat and clashing heads again. Replays indicated that Theory bore the brunt of the impact upon landing.
Commentators tried to continue with the show while underscoring the message for viewers not to attempt in-ring maneuvers themselves.
Following the broadcast, WWE updated social media, reporting that both wrestlers underwent examinations by doctors and necessary tests. The diagnosis revealed severe facial contusions, with both athletes sustaining bruises, but reassuringly, both are expected to be okay.
